Really?  It looks no smaller than plasma winch rope to me.  Surely it depends what it's made of?

[Muddy]

Maybe its me but that snorkel looks a little slim!

I didnt know they had a Halfords and B+Q in the states  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

The tow hooks look like galvanised lightweight type

My tow rope is about same as pictured -its a mountain climbing rope ,
2.5cmKevlar  and 6 ton rated -makes me chuckle when i see trucks decked out
like a Navy tug with 2in sizal rope , :roll:  :roll:

6 ton isnt nearly strong enough for towing out a stuck vehicle

i remember seeing an article a few years back that roughly calculated that you need 20ton at least, and that wasnt even snatching, just a plain straight tow on an imovable object.

the other advantage to big rope? easier to grip when its covered in mud!

Well that doesn't say much about the usefulness of a 4.5 tonne winch does it :lol:  :lol:

I have pulled out several large trucks including Rangie,yota surf, transit,etc , size has nothing to do with strength where rope is cocerned -its how you go about useing it -ive seen all the idiots snatching and yanking when attempting a recovery, and if as you say 20 ton is the leaststrength needed then 99% of peoples Bow shackles are US as most are rated at around 4/5 ton ,also most strops are the same,

this rope is cheap only used once.... it was a sadmans rope doesnt need it now! :P

I think you'll find that most KERRs sold are only are only trated to 12 tons, a mate has a challenger tank recovery rope, that's only rated to 40tons.

2.5cmKevlar

 you want to watch using Kevlar rope for towing, it has zero stretch and can go bang if shock loaded.
